Noticed a trend.

The past few years have been interesting from the point of society in general. What I see is a decidedly different behavior of people. Lets categorize them as "plugged-in". Usually younger, toting a back pack, iPod's are ubiquitous, something in their hand to read, and most of all a quasi-nomadic / driven attitude. I am seeing more and more of this situation in many types of major facility, Library, train etc.

People are morphing into intellectual bots. The Internet has provided these people with any and all information regarding their areas of interest. As a result they are "living" in their own intellectual world 24 / 7. Fascinating and I will continue to observe, as I feel that the last few years have become somewhat of an ever expanding funnel of information. Managing, controlling and operating in this world needs you to be "plugged-in".
